297. Directorpiece Theatre: The Mask of Zorro and the Old Hollywood Studio Film
Added 2020-07-06 13:01:01 +0000 UTC
Early Access for patrons!
Adam shines some light on how 1998’s Mask of Zorro represented the end of an era. 1999 was a big year for CG and with it came a whole new paradigm for how Hollywood created blockbusters. Abe is there as well.

Very weird that non-Utahns would be about the Jazz.

Last I checked Spaniards are still considered white (unless we’re gonna start being REALLY racist again). So this was kinda like casting a British person to play George Washington when you consider the Zorro is typically cast as fighting for Mexican Independence from Spain.
